SYNOPSIS The dry mass of living cell inclusions can be calculated from the concentration of their solids (derived from measurement of their refractive indices), and from their volumes (derived from measurements of their dimensions). The accuracy and advantages of this approach in comparing one type of cell material with another are discussed; some general conclusions about the measurement of cellular constituents with interference microscopy are presented.
